Re: Friday OT - Contests

I won a pedal tractor pull contest at a small town celebration when I was about 14. I would have repeated the second year but me and another guy were the only two that got a full pull on the first pass and had more weight added for the second, and he beat me but he was double me in size. I won a tshirt that is still one of my favorite shirts.

We also have an annual family reunion catfish trot-line contest on the Mississippi(same town as tractor pull) with over 30 grandkids that I have won twice.

Re: Friday OT - Contests

Won several music trivia contests at bars back in the day, including telling the next table the answer to one that no one was getting (I was out of that round after already winning once) in exchange for a beer or something. I almost got kicked out for cheating but there were really no rules about telling anyone the answer.

Also did the same thing back at the beginning of my work days. Local oldies show had a trivia contest daily at 10:00 AM. Winner got a coupon for a meal at a local restaurant. We would take turns winning then all go to lunch together. The boss finally put a stop to it because literally every person in the department would stop whatever they were doing to either dial in or at least watch to see if we'd win.

This was, of course, long before internet searches (for the common people).
